Casares Bay: new build apartments in Doña Julia, Casares

Air conditioning heats and cools every home through ducts hidden in the false ceiling. Each home has its own aerothermal system for hot water, a heat pump that draws warmth from the outside air rather than burning gas.

The kitchen is fully fitted, with wall and base units chosen from a range of models. The appliances are by Siemens or a similar brand: an oven, a fridge freezer, a microwave, a ceramic hob with an extractor hood and a dishwasher, with a connection for a washing machine.

Porcelain tiles run through the home, with white lacquered skirting boards in MDF, a board made from wood fibres. The walls of the bathrooms and other wet areas are tiled in 30 by 60 cm matt tiles, in a model and colour you choose from a range. Elsewhere the walls and the plasterboard ceilings have a smooth, washable paint finish, white on the ceilings and white or a colour on the walls.

Basins and WCs are vitrified porcelain by Roca or a similar brand, with chrome single-lever taps. The main bathroom has a 120 cm vanity unit with two drawers and a sliding glass shower screen 1.60 m wide. The other bathrooms and toilets have a 60 cm unit with the basin set into it.

Windows and terrace doors are aluminium with a thermal break, an insulating strip inside the frame, and double glazing with a sealed air gap between the panes. Every one has an aluminium roller blind, and the glass in the doors is safety glass. The front door is a laminated steel security door with a security lock and a spyhole. The doors inside are white lacquered with matt chrome handles, and the fitted wardrobes have solid white lacquered doors, a shelf for cases and a hanging rail.

Reinforced concrete foundations, pillars and beams carry floor slabs 30 cm thick. The outside walls are faced in limestone and a single coat of render over solid brick, with an air gap and insulation behind and a lining of plasterboard or large-format brick inside. The walls between rooms are large-format plasterboard.

The wiring follows the Spanish low-voltage regulations, with lighting points, telephone and television sockets, an aerial, a doorbell and an entry phone.
